View Full Version : To drop or not?
NCroadracer 02-17-2006, 10:42 PM I'm looking for some opinions here guys.
The new wheels look great (IMO), but~ i'm unsure as to weather or not to drop the car.....It's already pretty hars on bumpy surfaces. I don't know if I could stand a much harsher ride.
Keep in mind, I am waiting on the M-tech front and rear bumper conversion kits to arrive (any day now) and the Shadowline trim will be installed by the bodyshop at the same time. So......Ride height should be considered with the M5 bumpers on.
Question is....Should I drop it or no?
jselig 02-17-2006, 10:50 PM absolutely... an inch or inch and half would make all the difference.

Is that a stab at my Username?..........I am a CCS/AMA "Roadracer" :D
hakwuzhere 02-18-2006, 02:25 AM Actually no, was just a joke about the ride height of 5'ers... didnt even notice any connection between your name and offroading... :)
just ordered my lowering springs today... so my 5er looks higher than yours :)
NCroadracer 02-18-2006, 02:29 AM OK........H&R it will be., they'll be complimented with new bilstiens, i guess. :)
Thanks for the input.
NY550i 02-18-2006, 04:23 AM Its not the sport package right?
You definately need a drop with those rims.
If you think its harsh on the non sport... you would hate the ride on a sport suspension with 19s.

IchLiebeBMW 02-19-2006, 12:02 AM You should definatly drop it, it rides like a 4x4 now, a nice drop would make the car perfect.

NewEra09 02-19-2006, 05:40 AM If you dont drop that thing then I know for sure Grave Digger is gonna have some serious competition at the next monster truck show...lol

^^^^^^^haha....drop that bad boy!!!!!!!!!!!!
franka 02-27-2006, 10:31 PM Bilsteins are a mistake if you want a drop. The gas pressure pushes suspension up about 0.75 over stock. I know I made the mistake and am going to Koni
eibach pro kit would do the job as well
if he's going to do this, he should get the whole package with the sway bars.
jonma 02-27-2006, 11:31 PM Drop It Like It's Hot.... Hahaha
